Movie Quotes Meme

This is the greatest meme yet. I love this thing, fun to guess on the other blogs, and fun to compile. Fridge tagged me.

Instructions: Look up 15 of your favorite films on IMDb and take a quote from each. List them below. When someone guesses the quote correctly, cross it off the list. Leave a comment with your answers. And NO CHEATING (Googling).

As I read these on the other blogs (Angelos, Toast, Chemist, Tart) I would scroll down and guess as many as I could without reading anybody elses' guesses. It seemed to require a group effort in most cases. I have no idea how hard my list is, I tried to pick based on my favorite(ish) movies, and use a not quite "signature" quote, but not too obscure—memorable to me.

There are fifteen different movies represented, but because I'm so damn indecisive and the quotes are too freaking good, I doubled up on a couple. Have at it...

1. "Wow, I didn't know we'd become such good friends, because if we had, you'd know that I give head before I give favors and I don't even give my best friends head so your chances of getting a favor are pretty fucking slim."("Go!"—Rickey)

2."Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone."("Midnight Run"—Angelos)

3."The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end."("Gladiator"—Fridge)

4."Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend."("Unforgiven"—Fridge)

"I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you."("True Romance"—Rickey)

7."Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"("Reservoir Dogs"—Rickey)

9."If hate were people, I'D BE CHINA!"("City Slickers" Toasty Joe) Not really one of my favorite movies, but one of my favorite quotes...

10."Well you're better than any player I ever had. And you're the best God damn hitter I ever saw. Suit up."("The Natural"—Angelos)

11."Some folks call it Hell, I call it Hades."("Sling Blade"—Rickey)

12."My wife deserves revenge, whether I know about it or not." ("Memento"—Adam)

13."What the fuck are you carrying a gun for? What, in case somebody steps to you, Snoop Dogg?"("Swingers"—Tart)

14."And I'd like to point out that these tapes have not been faked, or altered in any way. In fact they have a time code, which is very difficult to fake."CLUE: See the comments for the full exchange, but here's an additional quote that should give it away: "My brother and I used to say that drownin' in beer was like heaven, eh? Now he's not here, and I've got two soakers... this isn't heaven, this sucks."

15."Luther said I could learn some things from you. I already know how to drink." ("The Sting"—RSB)

Ah, hell...I can't leave this movie out, so here's a bonus quote:

16. "I got no spit."("Jaws"—Toast)

This one is more time-consuming than most so I am reluctant to tag, but I'll give it to Mike (here, and it's a high degree of difficulty, check it out), since I think he'll get into it, along with Rickey (done) and Adam (done).

Oh it was absolutely the Walken quote that gave it away. But Brad Pitt's little cameo in the movie is equally noteworthly. Also, were you aware that an incredibly slim James Gandolfini has a bit part in the movie?
